Default S204 vs RS4 vs 300C vs Ford FPV Typhoon (56K Beware)

Article from latest New Zealand Autocar magazine...

Subaru NZ managed to get 5 x S204s from Japan as NZ new cars...

One more reason to live in NZ

I have to agree with the seat comments

USDM is mostly responsible for Bigger seats, Clutch down to start and Beeping in Reverse

Would have to agree with the outcome. I've driven my old man's RS4 a few times now, and although I'm comparing it with my 05 STI PPP, it is such a more nicer car, both in term of build quality, performance, and handling. Although you really can tell it weighs more than the Impreza.
It's not that much quicker than a STI PPP, in relative terms, but as the speed builds, and the revs climb it pulls soo much stronger than the Impreza.

If I had the money, I'd have the RS4 over any Impreza anyday.
